Tasty Eats | Salmon Burgers from Blue Apron

June 23, 2015

It happened again - we had an amazing experience with our Blue Apron delivery last week and all three of our meals were gourmet quality! Not only were these meals ridiculously good, but I wanted to share our favorite one - Salmon Burgers with Creme Fraiche Sauce and Potato Salad so that you could recreate it at home!

What You'll Need

|| 1 8 ounce Salmon Fillet

|| 2 Potato Buns (Burger Buns)

|| 2 Garlic Cloves

||1 Lemon

||½ Pound red potatoes

|| 1 Bunch of Mint

|| 2 tablespoons of capers

|| 1 Shallot

|| ¼ Cup of Breadcrumbs

|| ⅓ Cup of Creme Fraiche

Time and time again what keeps me coming back to Blue Apron are the perfectly portioned meals without having to waste any ingredients and that the meals are all healthy with this one being 700 calories.

Step 1: Preheat the over to 450° - place the salmon skin side down and drizzle with olive oil and season with Salt & Pepper to taste. Roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes - I kept mine in a little longer at 15. Using a spatula carefully lift the salmon off its skin and in a bowl flake the roasted salmon with a fork into small pieces. It'll look like tuna!

Step 2: While the salmon is roasting, bring a medium pot of water to a boil.

Halve the buns

peel and mince the garlic

quarter the potatoes

pick the mint off the stems

roughly chop the capers

using a peeler remove the rind of the lemon to get 2 teaspoons of zest

quarter and de-seed the lemon

peel and mince the shallot

place the minced shallot in a bowl with the juice of all 4 lemon wedges - season with salt and pepper

Step 3: In a medium bowl, combine the creme fraiche, shallot-lemon juice mixture and half of the mint (roughly chopped) - season with salt and pepper

Step 4: Add the potatoes to the water and cook for 13 minutes or until tender. Drain thoroughly and return to the pot, but make sure it's off the heat. Add the caper and half of the creme fraiche sauce. Stir to combine and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 5: While the potatoes are cooking, add the breadcrumbs, garlic, lemon zest and remaining mint (roughly chopped). Gently mix to combine. Form the mixture into two thick patties by squeezing firmly to ensure that they are tightly packed.

Step 6: Add the patties and cook for 3 minutes per side or until golden. Transfer them to a paper towel after thoroughly cooked.

Step 7: Carefully wipe the same pan and toast the buns. To create the finished product add the cooked patty to the bun and add the remaining creme fraiche sauce equally to each burger.

And then you are ready to enjoy!!

I've made Salmon burgers before, but never like this - it was always out of a can! Since the ingredients Blue Apron provides you with are fresh, I knew this would be like ordering a Salmon burger from a restaurant! If you really want to showcase your culinary skills this summer - try this recipe out!

If you haven't ordered from Blue Apron yet, here's you chance! All my Texas friends this one's for you since they just launched there! The first 25 readers will receive two free meals with their first Blue Apron order, just click here! I'm always looking ahead to see what recipes they have coming up and I managed to also take some photos of the finished recipes we had along in this box - the Arepas de Carne Molida and the Chicken Piccata.

Those salmon burgers look amazing. We always make from a can too. These look oh so fresh!!! Such unique ingredients for salmon burgers, I cannot wait to try these. Thanks for the recipe and Happy Tuesday!

I have to admit, this isn't something I would eat (picky eater) but it looks DELISH! I'm curious about Blue Apron, I should look into it and see if they can work with my food allergies. Thanks for sharing doll!

ok YUM! my father in law just got back from deep sea fishing in Alaska for a week and he caught lots of salmon! I will be sharing this with him :) Alaska Salmon is SO good!xo, Candace | Lovely Little Rants

Yes! Seriously I need to take some notes! I wanted to make tuna burgers a while back and epically failed at it. I never can figure out where I'm going wrong? Maybe I'll use this as a guide line. Looks so delicious!

I've been branching out with fish a lot more recently and had salmon for the first time last week and it was really good! Considering how much I love my black bean burgers a salmon burger sounds so good too. So when you order do you have any idea what you're getting in advance or is it always a surprise?
